Hello everyone I just failed the RS Lab :(

First attempt at sanjose and failed miserably. The one thing I must
say is a major reason why I failed is that I could not figure out what
the heck they were asking on some of the requirements? The english
was very poor and requirments were very vauge.

how did you prepared yourself for this exam?
two of my friends just had this exams ( actually one of them passed the
composite) and none of them is a native english speaker, and they passed
with scores >900. what I cand say is that paying attention to detailes
is what matters most. next time try using boson tests ( these are pretty
good)

George is talking about the lab and not the written.

When I took it, I heard the same complaints. But when I actually sat
down for the exam, it was quite clear. There are nuances built in to
the question to make sure that you clearly understand the underlying
issues. But, that was the two day exam so I'm not sure how the current
exams are.

Just in case anyone is interested the RS written exam is in Beta until
21 Sept which means that it is available at a substantial discount.

The questions are very clear:
- What they tell explicitly, you should do the way they want to.
- What they didn't tell, you can do the way you want to without violating
requirements listed in other question.
- If you are not clear about the question, ask the proctor.

I failed twice, and after the 2nd trial, I realised it is me who make the
exam a failure. The 3rd trial is successful when I apply the above laws to
handle the questions.

Of course, you also need to:
- Practice the basic things (FR back to back, OSPF in FR, QoS, BGP, acl, and
dialing) as much as you can, and make yourself react with the questions
like a "reflect action".
- Read your document CD, and know where to find info.
- Know short-cut keys.

Hi

I take the beta on the last day, what are the disadvantages described,
cannot find anything on CCO

Like any beta, the quality can be suspect. It may have ridiculous
questions or confusing questions that will get tossed in the end.

OK Carl, lets try and find it;-)

Open CCO, type [CCIE beta] in search window, open first match

"Results are provided to candidates after the beta analysis is
complete, which is generally six weeks after the close of the
beta exam period. The Routing and Switching written beta exam
can only be scheduled and taken once during the beta exam period,"

I understand that normally results are available immediately. And
as Hansang says, it is a beta so there may be problems of any sort
during the exam.

I am doing it mainly for the experience, I have NO chance of passing
I don't think. Zero idea about BGP, IS-IS (well I know it's a link
state protocol), little EIGRP, a bit OSPF, no recent ATM, no frame
relay, no practical QoS, no practical multicast,
only a few wireless access points here and there. I do though have
(I think) good fundamentals on loads of stuff so I hope to answer
a few questions.

Clearly I will do a bit of reading however I will mostly just see
how she go. I may have a BGP job in the next few days so that will
help.
